HS-LS2-8 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

Students who demonstrate understanding can: 

Evaluate evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce. 

 

Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on advantages of grouping behaviors (e.g., flocking, schooling, herding) and cooperative behaviors (e.g., hunting, migrating, swarming) on survival and reproduction. 
Assessment Boundary: The assessment should provide evidence of students’ abilities to: (1) distinguish between group versus individual behavior, (2) identify evidence supporting the outcomes of group behavior, and (3) develop logical and reasonable arguments based on evidence.

Crosscutting Concepts

Science & Engineering Practices 

Disciplinary Core Ideas 

Cause and Effect:

  • Empirical evidence is required to differentiate between cause and correlation and make claims about specific causes and effects.

Engaging in Argument from Evidence:

  • Engaging in argument from evidence in 9-12 builds on K-8 experiences and progresses to using appropriate and sufficient evidence and scientific reasoning to defend and critique claims and explanations about natural and designed worlds. Arguments may also come from current scientific or historical episodes in science. 
  • Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind currently accepted explanations or solutions to determine the merits of arguments.  

Social Interactions and Group Behavior:

  • Group behavior has evolved because membership can increase the chances of survival for individuals and their genetic relatives.
